RV Tips, Reviews and Adventures with Tracy and Vic Sorensen

She’s Finally Here!

After an 18-month wait, we finally picked up our brand-new travel trailer: a Safari Condo Alto F2414. And she’s beautiful!

In the spring of 2021, after much research, we ordered an Alto because of its light weight (2,947 dry weight) and Safari Condo’s reputation for quality.  You can view all the specs on Safari Condo’s site .

Our Options

Here are the options we chose for our camper:

• Light blue metallic exterior color 
• Blue sky fabric
• White drops countertop
• Danish maple cabinet finish on lower cabinets
• White finish on sliding upper cabinets
• 440W Solar Panels
• Heated lithium batteries with monitor
• Tuson sway control system
• Upgraded roof-mounted Truma Aventa air conditioner
• Entry door with guillotine window
• Built-in microwave oven
• Dimmer for lights
• AM/FM radio with CD and 2 speakers (the unit we got also has Bluetooth)
• Rear privacy curtain
• Maxxfan with remote
• Fiamma deluxe awning
• LED strip under awning
• Driver side exterior light
• Front bike carrier

Safari what?

If you haven’t yet heard of Safari Condo, you’re not alone. They’re a small manufacturer based in Quebec, Canada. They’re becoming more popular in the U.S., but you won’t see many on the road or in campgrounds. In our travels, we’ve only seen two.

Unless you can find one used, buying a new Alto is an exercise in patience. Before the pandemic, the average lead time from ordering to completion was 18 months. Because of supply-chain challenges during the pandemic, some customers experienced delays.

We were lucky. Our Alto was ready to right on time.

For U.S. customers, there are other challenges when you buy an Alto directly from Safari Condo – the distance, the exchange rate, crossing the border, etc. I’ll go into more detail about the buying process in another post.

We named her “Mosey,” because we like to take our time traveling from place to place.

Right now, Mosey is in our driveway as we get her ready for her maiden voyage, a month-long trip to Florida in February. In a future post, I’ll share how we set up the camper, and all of our modifications and enhancements.

Contact us if you want to know more about Safari Condo or our Alto. And honk if you see us on the road!

Radical Alto priced from $48K

Canadian, glass tilt-roof alto to sell for close to $50,000 following launch at this year’s victorian caravan supershow.

Roma Caravans has launched its radical new ‘baby’ – the Canadian-built, glass tilt-roof Alto  – with a price tag of $48,500 at this year’s Victorian Caravan, Camping & Touring Supershow in Melbourne.

The first two examples of the radical lightweight ‘folding’ caravan arrived in Australia near the end of January and are the star attractions on Roma’s stand at the Melbourne Showgrounds this week.

Australia is initially getting the R Series (retractable roof) models of the Quebec, Canada-built aircraft inspired Alto range, which features novel teardrop aerodynamic styling and a tare weight of less than 800kg, complete with interior toilet, putting it within the towing scope of even the lightest of the current SUV crop.

Ironically, the new 5.26 metre-long Alto will sit alongside one of the largest caravans at the show, with Roma also displaying a new 11-metre long triple axle Roma Elegance on its stand.

While the Alto is short in length, it has surprisingly good headroom as Caravancampingsales discovered, when we invited a two metre tall friend to inspect it.

However the same person said that he would need more legroom in the rear convertible sofa king size bed.

Along with its light weight, the big attraction of the Alto for many people will be its low 2.1 metre travelling and storage height, ensuring it should fit into most garages.

Unlike the folding, solid-wall Avan Aliner and all-fibreglass Eco-Tourer, whose roof is rear hinged, the Alto’s Alufiber aluminium sandwich panel and tinted safety glass top is hinged at the front and rises electrically.

It's also unique in having a fixed flush toilet in a separate cabinet inside the door, which Roma hopes to enhance with an optional telephone handle-style shower to create an ultra-compact ensuite.

This makes it around the same weight, but better equipped than the Avan Aliner, which has no provision for a fixed ensuite, 600kg lighter and slightly more expensive than the smallest EcoTourer and nearly half the weight and around $2000 cheaper than the entry-level EcoTourer shower/toilet model.

It will be interesting to see Australian reactions to this snail-styled newcomer.
